C        G      D/F#        Em
No one gets it right on the first try
 Em                D/F#         G
Nothing feels like love for the first time
C        G      D/F#        Em
I never saw it coming, I was too blind
 Em                D/F#         G
Nothing hurts like love for the first time


[Verse 2]
       C        G           D/F#        Em
We're better together, I was better off never
Em          D/F#      G
Expert optimistic pretender
C              G            D/F#         Em
We'll make it through if we keep writing letters
     Em                     D/F#       G
Your heart moved on now they return to sender


[Chorus]
                    C                          G
Thought I'd let you know that everything went cold
             D/F#           Em D/F# G
The day you chose to let me go
            Em       C                          G
Thought I'd let you know that everything we've been through
            D/F#        C       G
I feel you still, and I always will


[Verse 3]
C             G      D/F#          Em
A sight or smell can take me right back there
Em                  D/F#      G
A cheap perfume left in an elevator
C        G           D/F#       Em
Ups and downs, I was down, down, down
Em                    D/F#       G
Lower levels make the most beautiful sounds


[Chorus]
                    C                          G
Thought I'd let you know that everything went cold
             D/F#           Em D/F# G
The day you chose to let me go
            Em        C                           G
Thought I'd let you know that everything we've been through
            D/F#        C       G
I feel you still, and I always will

[Outro]
C     G        D/F#              Em
Never mind the distance, we were distant
    Em                D/F#        G
And long before we split, we were drifting
C         G         D/F#            Em
I cut my hair short like you always asked for
  Em                  D/F#        G
I hope the fire hurts me less and you more
C      G       D/F#         Em
No one gets it right on the first try
Em                 D/F#         G
Nothing hurts like love for the first time
